Chalene and Bret Johnson share their hilarious and heartwarming experience visiting Chalene's parents in Michigan, diving deep into the ultra-friendly world of "Midwest Nice," where everyone waves at you and somehow knows your business. From quirky small-town charm to strangers asking about your family like they’ve known you forever, this episode captures what makes the Midwest so unique (and occasionally meme-worthy!). You'll also get behind-the-scenes insights on Chalene’s dad’s barn obsession, ADHD brain quirks, and a funny rant about why waiters not writing down orders gives Chalene an internal panic attack. Plus, they touch on family dynamics and the differences between Midwest life and their time in Florida and California. Expect laughs, real talk, and a whole lot of Midwest love!
